Ok, but then you need to figure out why that gets defined. Looking at
the code it doesn't make any sense to me:

    case "$host_os" in
      mingw*) gl_cv_func_rename_dest_exists_bug=yes ;;
      *) gl_cv_func_rename_dest_exists_bug=no ;;
    esac

your host_os definately shouldn't be mingw on a Linux machine. Could you
please put your (compressed) coreutils-7.4/config.log file somewhere so
I can take a look?
